Today my depression is at a...
On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the worst, where would you rank your depression?
What is one thing you can do today to find some joy? Even if it is just for a moment?
High still
7/10
3 - its probs more but I just don't care.
Im full blown depressed. I know I dont have a say in what he does but he doesnt even think about me first only himself
6 and up, up , up...
hoping to calm that down and bring the number down with listening to positive music and trying to stop seeing myself as a victim.
Today I am stressed but numb. My grades are going down consistently, nothing good is happening and I wish something would no matter how small. No matter how hard I work it doesn't pay off and I really need the weights on my shoulders to leave and give me a break
@char14 ahh I felt that you know if you wanna talk about it I literally know exactly how you feel
@char14
If I think of happiness where it is sustainable, it usually is a person or thing I appreciate Being attached to achievement usually isn't very fruitful, it is difficult to always have a consistent stream of accomplishments or good luck.

10 being high?
Depression is at a 5, Anxiety is at an 8. I'm afraid I'm going to trip and spiral which would be really disappointing after a good few 'normal'ish days. So I'm trying to put that out of my mind for now.
11...today looks like its going to be bad. Wishing I wasn't here. But I have to keep moving right.
@Dyingtodie when you go through a tunnel theres darkness before there is light, but you always reach the end no matter how long it is. Keep your head up things always work themself out even when it seems it never will.
@Emilea thanks for the kind words but I feel like I'm spiraling downward not walking towards anything. I know they always say the darkest is before the dawn but most days it seems there isn't one. I made my mistakes and I have to live with the consequences. Apart of that is being in the darkness. All I know to do is wait for a good day and enjoy it while it last cause it never last long.
@Dyingtodie if you ever want to talk Im here, its tough trying to get through things alone. And its hard to see the bright side of things when it all seems so dark . Tomorrow is a day for a new breath of fresh air!
I can relate most days I just wake up and don
7 :
i didnt want to get out of bed and start my day
i want to cancell my shrink appt that i have this am - or - no-show ( but i respect him enough to not no-snow)
i dont want to get the calls made today that I HAVE to do or i wont get health insurance
worries are already swirling around my head about what would happen if i dont do this...yet, i dont even want to do it
i dont have the energy to do anything, even fun things
i just want to lay in bed all day, sleep and watch movies and cry cry cry
Today it is about an 8 I did not want to get up this morning and everyone always has someone or something to do they are so busy while I have nothing so it just makes me depressed and lonely
